Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik – Rivalitá 2022

Led by the talented Justin Taylor on harpsichord and Théotime Langlois de Swarte on violin, Le Consort, a young ensemble that has already won several awards, explores the Venetian trio sonata. In "Rivalità", Le Consort contrasts sonatas by Antonio Vivaldi with lesser-known works by Giovanni Battista Reali, Tomaso Albinoni and Giorgio Gentili. What can you expect? A fruitful dialogue of high and low spheres, between two violins competing in virtuosity and expressiveness, sometimes delicately, other times powerfully grounded, washed by cello notes and harpsichord chords
